Today I begin my time as TOD (Teacher On Duty). I pretty much have no idea what that means. In the morning I was to make some announcements. I had none. No big whoop. The head prefect (top student, Amani) took care of things. The students were dismissed from morning assembly and went to class, and I prepared for my Form II class. It went as Form II classes usually do. Blank stares and silence while I lectured about nutrition to students who arent getting enough. It made me feel awkward telling students that vitamins are important, and that they come from things you dont have.
During the afternoon, the students were to weed the bean field and plant new fruit trees. The school does a good job of reducing its tuition fees using agriculture. It was of course my job as TOD to ensure the work got done, so of course it did.
Since this was a pretty short post, here is a list of my favorite Tanzanian business names Ive seen so far:
4. High Classic Furniture
3. *$#@! Shoe Shine
2. Decent Hair Salon
1. Ruaha University College
